Meydan #1 Saturday

Meydan in Urdu, Fārsi, Ukrainian, Turkish and Arabic refers to an accessible common space in a city, such as a square or public park, where people come together. The Meydan program is based on various forms of social gathering.

lumbung of Publishers

Within the cultural sphere, independent publishers and publishing collectives are particularly dependent on solidarity and the sharing of resources to survive. During documenta fifteen, lumbung of Publishers offers independent publishers the possibility to get to know each other and to share knowledge. The goal is to create a network that exists beyond the 100-day duration of documenta fifteen. During Meydan weekend #1 the more than 20 independent publishers create a public program of readings, discussions, and workshops at ruruHaus. More
